The cruel taunt brought hot blood to

mortified, angry; and without one look at
little Miss Burr's astonished and indignant
face, she hung down her head and fol-

Meat can be fried in such a way as to be
scarcely distinguished from that which is
broied, and it is sometimes more con-
venient to cook it thus; but the pan should
be very hot before it is laid in, no fat should

until it is taken up on the dish.
Scrape the outside of celery roots and

Lieutenant S. Anderson, in describing
this well says: eve lowered candle
down the WELL and found the air perfectly
good. and. after the usual amount of noise
and talking among the workmen and
oilers, I was dashed with a good rope
round the waist and a loop for my feet,
and lowered through the mouth of the
well by some trusty Arabs directed by my
friend Mr. Fletcher, the Protestant Mis-
sionary. After having passed through the
narrow mouth. found myself suspended
in cylindrical chamber, in shape and pro-
portion not unlike that of the barrel OF q
gun. The well is rs feet deep, y
feet in diameter, and is lined throughout
with rough masonry, as it is dug in allu-
vial soil. The bottom of the well was per-
fectly dry at this time Of the year (the
month of May), and covered with loose
stones There was a little pitcher lying
at the bottom unbroken, and this was an
evidence of there being water in the well
at some seasons, as the pitcher would have
been broken had il fallen upon the stones.

PROTECT THE CHILDREN FROM
COLD.

First of all, keep the little feet dry and
warm. Shoes for very small children have
such thin soles that they are by no means
adapted to damp or even cool weather.
But any mother can make ntoles which
will take the place of thicker soles. Lay
the shoe upon paper and mark the outline
of the sole. Cut it of thin, tough paste
board or the frmest tough, brown paper,
cutting it a little smaller ali the way round,
so that when covered with canton flannel
it will slip easily inside of the shoe. Draw
the canton flannel well over the edges and
sew it, taking stitches from side to side.
The legs, too, must be kept warm, and
for those children who cannot wear wool,
the stockinet is serviceable and SO cheap
125 cents per yard) that it is within the
reach of the poorest. This should be drawn
on over the stockings, well down under the
shoe tops and fastened to the stocking sup
porters, which should always be worn. as
elastic garters are very injurious. Those
mothers who do not have opportunities to
buy them can readily make them at home,
sewing buttons to the stockings and put
ting button-holes in the supporter. IF you
do not have the webbing used by the man.
ufacturers, double a piece of muslin so
that when the edges are turned in and
stitched it will measure one inch in width,
and have it long enough to make a loop
for the arm and reach nearly to the thigh.
Now sew on bit of wides elastic ribbon,
with button hole in muslin below it, to
reach the stocking top when the child is
standing up. The elastic Will allow the
knee to bend without tearing the stocking.
Have two of these pieces and connect them
by strap made of the doubled muslin
across the shoulders. These supporters
must not in any way bind the child. They
can be bought at most all stores, from Is
cents to 25 cents per pair, with patent fast
enings which hold the stocking without
tearing it. Those with little slit in the
metal are excellent. So, too, are those
with metal button and loop to hold it.

CARE OF FROZEN PLANTS.

When by mishap the plants, whether
in parlor or greenhouse, become frozen,
either at once remove them (taking care
not to touch the leaves to some place warm
enough to be just above the point of freez-
ing; OF, if there are too many to do that,
get up the fire as rapidly as possible, and
raise the temperature The usual advice
is to sprinkle the leaves and shade the
plants from the sun. We have never
found either remedy of any avail with
frozen plants, and the sprinkling is often
serious injury if done before the tempera-
experience with thousands of frozen plants,
we have tried all manner of expedients,
and found DO better method than to get
them out Of the freezing atmosphere as
quickly as possible; and we have also
found that the damage is in proportion to
the sucoulent condition of the plant and
the intensity of the freezing. Just what
degree CT cold plants in any given condi-
ton can endure without injury, we are
unable to state Plants are often frozen SO
that the leaves la ng down, put when
thawed out are found to be not at all in
iured. At another time the same low
temperature acting on the same kind of
plants may kill them outright if they hap
| pen to be growing more thrifty, and are
full of sap. Much depends on the tempera-
ture at which plants have been growing.
| When the frost is penetrating into green
house or room in which plants are kept
| and the heating arrangements are made
ouate to keep it out, the best thing to do
is to cover the plants with paper news
papers, or sheeting. Thus protected,
most plants will be enabled to resist four
or five degrees Of frost. Paper is rather
better than sheeting for this purpose

THE SAVAGE WAY.
low the Indian Treats an Injury-OId
Time Methods.

Time Methods.
The savage is emphatically the child OF
nature. He lives close to nature, his only
education is gained in natures school.
When the Indian receives an injury, he
does not seek cure in mineral poisons,
but binds on the simple leaf. administers
the herbal tea, and, with natures aid,
comes natural recovery.
Our rugged ancestors, who pierced the
wilderness, built their uncouth but COM
Portable log cabins and started the clear
ings in the woods, which IN time became
the broad, fertile fields of the modern
farmer, found in roots and herbs that lay
close at hand natures potent remedies for
all their common ailments. 1t was only
in very serious cases they sent for old
saddle bags" with his physic, which quite
as often killed as cured.
Latter day society has wandered too far
away from nature, in every way, for its
own good. Our grandfathers and grand
mothers lived wholesomer, purer, better,
healthier, more natural lives than we do.
Their minds were not filled with noxious-
isms, nor their bodies saturated with
poisonous drugs.
Is it not time to make change, to re-
turn to the simple vegetable preparations
of our grandmothers, which contained the
, power and potency of nature as remedial
